I have an older AD110 doorbell camera. I think it's the first Amcrest-branded model. Looking at my firewall, it makes the most DNS requests of anything.
When I have the camera blocked for outgoing DNS, it tries to connect to drs.zencamcloud.com about 145 times per second.

Re: AD110 Doorbell Persistent Night Vision Off
I have the same problem others have had with the night mode turning on/off and triggering the motion detection. I don't really need night mode, so when I turn it off in the app, it seems to come back on by itself in "auto" mode about 72 hours or so later. I downloaded the HTTP API specs - ...

Re: IP Cameras calling home every 3 minutes ?
I'll try turning off P2P. I didn't think it was anything nefarious, as the packet sizes were fairly small. I looked at a few and it appears to have a port number and sequence number. Agree on the port forwarding - I certainly wouldn't want it out to the open internet. I run a small VPN client on my ...

IP Cameras calling home every 3 minutes ?
Hi - I currently have 2 of the IP8M-2496E cameras, a IP2M-841B, and the doorbell AD110. All of these save their recordings locally to an SD card. I have never setup cloud storage and I double-checked all of the cameras to make sure cloud storage was off. All of the above cameras call out to an IP ad...

IP-2496 Firmware status ?
Hi - I've been following the other thread (June 2019) that listed the "beta" firmware for this camera model, but I don't see that the firmware ever got out of "beta". One year is certainly long enough to validate the software as being stable (or not). So here's the interesting th...

Re: AD110 firmware v1.000.00AC004.0.R.20200702
Just updated to this version. The notes for this firmware, as viewed in the Android version of the SmartHome app, stated it was to fix an issue where the doorbell shows as "offline". Before the upgrade, mine had this problem. The Smarthome app showed the device as offline, but in the Amcre...

Re: IP8M-2493 changing to 720P resolution
Thanks for this. I was wondering why my camera wasn't holding it's motion detection regions. It turns out when the resolution is changed, the motion detection regions get wiped out.
Took me awhile to link these two things together.
